A thousand years ago Hong Kong was covered by a thick forest. As more and more people came to 31 in Hong Kong, these trees were cut down and burnt. Now there is 32 forest left, though there are still some small areas covered with trees. We call these woods. Elephants, tigers and many 33 animals were living in the thick forest. When people came to live in Hong Kong, the 34 began to die out. Early farmers grew rice and 35 pigs and chickens in the valleys. They cut down the trees and burnt them. They needed 36 to keep themselves warm in winter, to cook their food and to keep away the dangerous animals. Elephants quickly disappeared because there was not enough food for them . 37 did most of the wolves and tigers. Monkeys and many other animals soon 38 in the same way. You might think that there are no longer any animals in Hong Kong 39 in the zoos. But there are still about 36 different animals 40 there. One of the most interesting of Hong Kong's animals is the barking deer. These are beautiful little animals 41 a rich brown coat and a white patch (补丁) under the tail. They look like deer but they are much smaller. They are less than two feet 42 . They make a noise rather like a dog 43 . In Hong Kong the barking deer has only a real enemy-- 44 . People hunt these little animals though it is illegal (违法的). There are now not many barking deer left. So it is important 45 people to protect wild animals. 小题1: A.work B.study C.live D.enjoy 小题2: A.many B.a few C.no D.not 小题3: A.other B.others C.the other D.another 小题4: A.people B.animals C.plants D.things 小题5: A.grew B.made C.got D.kept 小题6: A.fire B.hotness C.heat D.stoves(炉子) 小题7: A.so B.Such C.As D.Nor 小题8: A.lived B.died(死) C.came D.left 小题9: A.besides B.except C.and D.or 小题10: A.live B.to live C.lived D.living 小题11: A.have B.without C.with D.get 小题12: A.high B.higher C.short D.shorter 小题13: A.Shouting B.crying C.barking D.talking 小题14: A.tigers B.men C.wolves D.elephants 小题15: A.to B.for C.like D.of
